Cyanolipids in Cordia verbenacea—a correction

Seeds of materials previously identified as Cordia verbenacea were re-examined and found to be from a sapindaceous plant, probably of the genus Allophyllus. The anomalous occurence of cyanolipids in this member of the Boraginaceae is thus resolved.     

cAMP介导的梨果表皮物化信号对链格孢侵染的调控

采用药理学方法,用cAMP抑制剂阿托品（atropine）处理链格孢Alternaria alternata孢子悬浮液,通过体外试验分析cAMP信号级联通路在链格孢响应梨果皮蜡质疏水性、化学组分和外源乙烯利等刺激后启动孢子萌发、附着胞形成的调控作用,并通过体内试验研究其对链格孢致病性的调控。结果表明,高疏水性表面和梨果蜡涂膜表面及1μmol/L的乙烯利均可显著促进链格孢的孢子萌发和附着胞形成。cAMP信号级联通路抑制剂atropine处理后显著抑制了表皮疏水性、蜡质和外源乙烯介导的链格孢的孢子萌发和附着胞形成,其中抑制剂处理后4h,链格孢在疏水性、果蜡涂膜表面和乙烯等处理中附着胞形成率分别较对照降低了75.3%、63.7%和74.3%,同时抑制剂处理还可抑制损伤接种链格孢早酥梨黑斑病的扩展。外源cAMP可以部分恢复抑制剂的作用,外源cAMP+atropine处理后4h,在高疏水性（108°）和果蜡涂膜表面,链格孢附着胞形成率为抑制剂atropine单独处理的2.4倍和1.6倍,表明cAMP信号级联通路可通过调控侵染结构的形成而影响链格孢对梨果表皮物理化学信号的识别和应答。     

丛枝菌根真菌对不同性别组合模式下青杨雌雄植株根系生长的影响

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对雌雄异株植物根系生长, 尤其是对邻近生长的不同雌雄个体的影响还鲜有研究。该研究以泥土:河沙:蛭石体积比为1:1:1的混合物为培养基质, 分别在雄-雄、雌-雌和雄-雌3种组合栽培模式下对青杨(Populus cathayana)雌雄幼苗进行接种和不接种摩西球囊霉(Funneliformis mosseae)处理, 通过比较接种AMF与否雌雄植株根系在侵染率、生物量、形态、碳、氮含量等方面的差异来分析AMF对青杨雌雄幼苗根系生长发育的影响。结果发现: 与对照组相比, 接种AMF对3种栽培模式下青杨雌雄植株的侵染率、根干质量、根系形态(除分枝强度、比表面积)和碳、氮含量影响显著。此外, 不同性别组合模式对青杨雌雄植株的根干质量、根系形态和碳、氮含量影响显著。接种AMF后, 与雌-雌合栽模式下的雌株相比, 雄-雌合栽模式下雌株的根干质量、氮含量都有不同程度的提高, 根系形态发生改变; 而与雄-雄合栽模式下的雄株相比, 雄-雌合栽模式下雄株的相应指标出现降低或轻微增加。该研究表明AMF对不同性别组合模式下青杨植株根系生长具有显著促进作用, 尤其是雄-雌合栽模式下AMF接种最有利于雌株根系的生长发育。

土壤碳氮比对平邑甜茶幼苗生长和碳氮分配的影响

为探讨土壤碳氮比(C:N)对苹果(Malus pumila)植株生长和碳氮分配特性的影响, 采用碳氮双标记示踪技术, 以二年生平邑甜茶(Malus hupehensis)幼苗为试验材料, 研究了6个不同土壤C:N处理(T1-T6分别为4.70、9.78、14.70、19.96、25.60和28.83)下平邑甜茶的生长状况和氮素吸收、利用分配以及碳水化合物的运转特性。结果表明, 随着土壤C:N的逐渐增大, 平邑甜茶幼苗根系干重逐渐增加, 而株高、茎粗、地上部干重和植株总干重呈先增加后降低的趋势, 以T4处理最大。土壤C:N显著影响了平邑甜茶幼苗的 ¹⁵N利用率, 从T1到T4处理, 植株的 ¹⁵N利用率逐渐升高, T4处理(18.46%)是T1处理(10.65%)的1.73倍; 随着土壤C:N的进一步增加, 植株的 ¹⁵N利用率逐渐降低, T5和T6处理分别比T4处理降低了1.59%和2.58%。土壤C:N较低的T1和T2处理, 平邑甜茶幼苗各器官从肥料中吸收分配到的 ¹⁵N量对该器官全氮量的贡献率(Ndff)大小顺序为根>叶>茎, 随着土壤C:N的进一步增大, 叶片的Ndff均为最大, 其次是根, 茎最少。随着土壤C:N的增大, 叶片 ¹⁵N分配率逐渐升高, ¹³C分配率逐渐降低; 而根系 ¹⁵N分配率逐渐降低, ¹³C分配率逐渐升高。综合考虑植株生长和氮素利用状况, 本试验条件下适宜平邑甜茶生长的土壤C:N为21-23。     

Micro- and nanostructure of the adhesive material secreted by the tube feet of the sea star Asterias rubens

To attach to underwater surfaces, sea stars rely on adhesive secretions produced by specialised organs, the tube feet. Adhesion is temporary and tube feet can also voluntarily become detached. The adhesive material is produced by two types of adhesive secretory cells located in the epidermis of the tube foot disc, and is deposited between the disc surface and the substratum. After detachment, this material remains on the substratum as a footprint. Using LM, SEM, and AFM, we described the fine structure of footprints deposited on various substrata by individuals of Asterias rubens. Ultrastructure of the adhesive layer of attached tube feet was also investigated using TEM. Whatever the method used, the adhesive material appeared as made up of globular nanostructures forming a meshwork deposited on a thin homogeneous film. This appearance did not differ according to whether the footprints were fixed or not, and whether they were observed hydrated or dry. TEM observations suggest that type 2 adhesive cells would be responsible for the release of the material constituting the homogeneous film whereas type 1 adhesive cells would produce the material forming the meshwork. This reticulated pattern would originate from the arrangement of the adhesive cell secretory pores on the disc surface.     

Enzymatic hydrolysis of PTT polymers and oligomers

Oligomers and polymers (film, fabrics) of the linear aromatic polyester poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) were treated with polyesterases from Thermomyces lanuginosus, Penicillium citrinum, Thermobifida fusca and Fusarium solani pisi. The cutinase from T. fusca was found to release the highest amounts of hydrolysis products from PTT materials and was able to open and hydrolyse a cyclic PTT dimer according to RP-HPLC–UV detection. In contrast, the lipase from T. lanuginosus also showed activity on the PTT fibres and on bis(3-hydroxypropyl) terephthalate (BHPT) but was not able to hydrolyse the polymer film, mono(3-hydroxypropyl) terephthalate (MHPT) nor the cyclic dimer of PTT. As control enzymes inhibited with mercury chloride were used. Surface hydrophilicity changes were investigated with contact angle measurements and the degree of crystallinity changes were determined with DSC.     

供磷水平对梨砧木生长和15N-尿素吸收利用特性的影响

以一年生盆栽豆梨、川梨、木梨实生苗为试材,采用¹⁵N同位素示踪技术,研究了不同供磷水平(P₂O₅分别为0、50、100、150、200 kg·hm^-2,分别用P₀、P₁、P₂、P₃、P₄表示)对3种梨砧木生长和¹⁵N-尿素吸收、利用特性的影响.结果表明: 随着供磷水平的提高,砧木的株高、地径、干质量、根系总表面积、总根长、根尖数、根系活力、根系呼吸速率、Ndff值和氮素利用率均先升高后降低,但不同砧木升降幅度不同,且各指标出现峰值的磷水平不同.在同一磷素水平下,木梨的株高、地径、干质量均最高,川梨次之,豆梨最低,根系形态指标和根系呼吸速率呈相同规律,而Ndff值和氮素利用率表现不同.在不同磷素水平下,木梨在P₃处理各指标均达到最高水平,而川梨和豆梨分别在P₂和P₁处理各指标均达到最高水平;砧木各器官的Ndff值在不同磷水平下均以茎最高;木梨的最高氮素利用率(种植季的肥料N回收率)为9.6%、川梨为8.9%、豆梨为8.3%.以上结果表明,不同梨砧木生长和氮素吸收利用特性在不同磷水平下响应不同,生产中应根据砧木需磷特性合理施磷.     

Production of Carbon Films for Electron Microscopy; Hydrofluoric Acid Detachment from Glass

Chemically clean microscope slides are coated as usual by vaporized carbon. The carbon film is floated off the slide by slowly lowering it at an angle of 45° into 1% HF in distilled water containing 0.025% Tween 80. This solution fills completely (forming a positive meniscus at the edges) one chamber of a double-compartment Perspex trough; the other compartment being similarly filled with the Tween solution only. A Teflon bar, laid on top of the partition keeps the solutions from mixing. After the carbon film loosens, it is floated across the central partition into the second compartment with the aid of a second Teflon bar, using both bars to guide the film on the surface of the fluid. The HF is thus washed from the film. Grids are thinly coated with 0.5% poly isobutylene in toluene (as an adhesive) and previously placed on a rectangle of filter paper supported by wire screening about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the trough. While the Tween solution is drained away through a bottom opening, the carbon film is guided to cover the grids. The filter paper bearing the grids is then removed and caused to dry slowly (about 12-16 hr) to avoid cracking or distortion of the film.     

供磷水平对梨砧木生长和15N-尿素吸收利用特性的影响

Phenology and autumnal accumulation of N reserves in belowground organs of wetland helophytes Phragmites australis and Glyceria maxima affected by nutrient surplus

Two co-occurring dominant wetland helophytes and potential competitors, Phragmites australis and Glyceria maxima, were cultivated under N, P availabilities simulating the trophic status of wetlands with different fertility (oligo- and eutrophic). The long-term outdoor cultivation was performed with the goal to characterise the extent to which the nutrient enrichment affects plant growth, phenology, and particularly, the accumulation of N storage compounds in belowground organs of wetland rhizomatous plants prior to the onset of winter dormancy. In the present study, both species responded similarly to nutrient surplus. The enhanced growth, delayed shoot senescence, and delayed retranslocation of N into belowground organs were found in both species in eutrophic treatment. Furthermore, N levels remaining in dry leaves were proportionally related to those in living ones, being significantly higher in eutrophic treatment. The efficiency of N retranslocation from senescing leaves varied around 60% in both species and treatments. The formation of N reserves was, however, not disrupted in either species. Although plants in eutrophic treatments accumulated N in their belowground organs significantly later in the season (in the September–December period), the amount of accumulated N was sufficient to reach high belowground N standing stock. Considering formation of N reserves, the differences in species response to treatments were negligible. Phragmites and Glyceria accumulated similar belowground N standing stock prior to the winter. Glyceria may, however, additionally profit from N standing stock of over-wintering green leaves and from the potential of growth and N assimilation during a mild winter period, which is not possible in fully dormant Phragmites.     

X-ray microanalysis of biological specimens by high voltage electron microscopy

For the purpose of analyzing and imaging chemical components of cells and tissues at the electron microscopic level, 3 fundamental methods are available, chemical, physical and biological. Among the physical methods, two methods qualifying and quantifying the elements in the structural components are very often employed. The first method is radioautography which can demonstrate the localization of radiolabeled compounds which were incorporated into cells and tissues after the administration of radiolabeled compounds. The second method is X-ray microanalysis which can qualitatively analyze and quantify the total amounts of elements present in cells and tissues. We have developed the two methodologies in combination with intermediate high or high voltage transmission electron microscopy (200–400 kV) and applied them to various kinds of organic and inorganic compounds present in biological materials. As for the first method, radioautography, I had already contributed a chapter to PHC (37/2). To the contrary, this review deals with another method, X-ray microanalysis, using semi-thin sections and intermediate high voltage electron microscopy developed in our laboratory.

X-ray microanalysis is a useful method to qualify and quantify basic elements in biological specimens. We first quantified the end-products of histochemical reactions such as Ag in radioautographs, Ce in phosphatase reaction and Au in colloidal gold immunostaining using semithin sections and quantified the reaction products observing by intermediate high voltage transmission electron microscopy at accelerating voltages from 100 to 400 kV. The P/B ratios of all the end products Ag, Ce and Au increased with the increase of the accelerating voltages from 100 to 400 kV. Then we analyzed various trace elements such as Zn, Ca, S and Cl which originally existed in cytoplasmic matrix or cell organelles of various cells, or such elements as Al which was absorbed into cells and tissues after oral administration, using both conventional chemical fixation and cryo-fixation followed by cryo-sectioning and freeze-drying, or freeze-substitution and dry-sectioning, or freeze-drying and dry-sectioning producing semithin sections similarly to radioautography. As the results, some trace elements which originally existed in cytoplasmic matrix or cell organelles of various cells in different organs such as Zn, Ca, S and Cl, were effectively detected. Zn was demonstrated in Paneth cell granules of mouse intestines and its P/B ratios showed a peak at 300 kV. Ca was found in human ligaments and rat mast cells with a maximum of P/B ratios at 350 kV. S and Cl were detected in mouse colonic goblet cells with maxima of P/B ratios at 300 kV. On the other hand, some elements which were absorbed by experimental administration into various cells and tissues in various organs, such as Al in lysosomes of hepatocytes and uriniferous tubule cells in mice was detected with a maximum of P/B ratios at 300 kV.

From the results, it was shown that X-ray microanalysis using semi-thin sections observed by intermediate high voltage transmission electron microscopy at 300–400 kV was very useful resulting in high P/B ratios for quantifying some trace elements in biological specimens. These methodologies should be utilized in microanalysis of various compounds and elements in various cells and tissues in various organs.

Depth-related variation in gross chemical composition of several seaweeds

The percentages of dry weigth, ash, carbon and nitrogen in Chondrus crispus Stackh. and Furcellaria lumbricalis (Huds.) Lamour. were determined for plants distributed along a depth gradient. Analyses were made of samples collected from June throug August. Dry weights and ash were also determined for other major perennial species, but on fewer samples. In all instances the trend was an increase in ash as a percentage of the dry weight and a decrease in the percentage dry weight and organic matter, with depth. The percentage of carbon also decreased with depth, reflecting the changes in organic matter. However, the percentage of nitrogen increased with depth, thus the C/N ratio decreased with depth. These changes in gross chemical composition are assumed to be analogous to seasonal changes in composition at a given depth or level in the littoral zone.     

凤眼莲浸出液对东海原甲藻生长的抑制作用

研究了凤眼莲浸出液对赤潮藻东海原甲藻生长的影响。浸出液浓度以单位体积溶液中所含凤眼莲鲜重表示。结果显示,在浸出液浓度大于2g·L^-1时,活体凤眼莲浸出液和干凤眼莲浸出液对东海原甲藻的生长都有明显的抑制作用。在浸出液浓度达到8g·L^-1时,活体凤眼莲浸出液和干凤眼莲浸出液对东海原甲藻都具有杀灭作用,东海原甲藻全部死亡出现的时间分别为培养后的第4t和第5t。经121℃高温处理20min后的活体凤眼莲浸出液对东海原甲藻的抑制作用仍然存在,抑制作用并没有显著减弱。研究结果表明凤眼莲的抑藻物质具有用来控制赤潮生物东海原甲藻的潜在价值。     

A Bacterial Cell Wall Stain1

A new method is given to stain bacterial cell walls, especially of Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. The cells are smeared in water on a slide and, as soon as air-dry, are stained 3-4 minutes with a 1 % aqueous solution of new fuchsin. The smear is washed with water until the stain ceases to run and is then allowed to air dry. The slide is placed on a 50°C. warm plate for 10-20 seconds, and the smear is then covered with a thin film of a 1-2% solution of Congo red at a pH of about 9.5. The smear is ready for observation as soon as dry or it may be washed with water if desired before observation.     

不同养分环境下邻株竞争对木荷和杉木生长、细根形态及分布的影响

以木荷和杉木为试验材料,模拟异质和同质两种森林土壤养分环境,设计单植、两株纯植和两株混植3种栽植方式,开展盆栽试验研究木荷与杉木混交造林增产及木荷生长竞争优势形成的原因.结果表明: 与同质养分环境相比,异质养分环境中木荷与杉木混植时两树种均具有较高的苗高和干物质积累量,且木荷竞争优势明显,这与其根系可塑性强有关.混植的木荷各径级细根大量增生,其根系总长度、表面积和体积比杉木高80%～180%.木荷细根在垂直方向上采用了补偿性的生长策略,即除占据富养表层外,还在低养分斑块中大量增殖以获得更大的竞争优势.木荷与杉木的细根在土壤中的拓殖深度不同,生态位分化,缓解了两树种根系对养分的强烈竞争,提高了混植产量.纯植的木荷由于根系自我识别作用,抑制了根系的生长,使得纯植产量较低.细根在空间上错开和均匀分布可能是木荷纯林结构稳定的原因之一.建议在生产中采用块状整地和表层施肥等措施,改善土壤养分分布状况,营建混交林促进木荷和杉木生长,而对已营造的木荷人工纯林,可以及时调控林分密度促进林木生长.     

NP配施对平茬后云南松苗木N、P、K化学计量比的影响

为了解NP配施对平茬后云南松(Pinus yunnanensis)苗木各器官N、P、K化学计量比的影响,分析云南松苗木不同器官(根、茎、叶、萌条)的ω(N)∶ω(P)、ω(N)∶ω(K)、ω(P)∶ω(K)化学计量比的季节变化特征,探讨各器官间N、P、K化学计量比的相关性及其变异来源。采用N、P二因素三水平的3×3回归设计开展不同施肥试验,并对苗木采样测定,研究NP配施对平茬后云南松根、叶、茎及其萌条N、P、K化学计量特征的影响。结果表明：平茬后云南松苗木不同器官的营养元素分配没有统一的规律,展现出丰富的变异。随着施肥季节的变化,ω(N)∶ω(P)在根、茎和萌条中逐渐下降,在叶中先下降后上升,但总体差异不大。单施N肥、P肥和NP配施均对云南松苗木生长的影响产生一定差异,总体来看NP配施更有利于促进苗木的生长,且以处理5(N₁P₁)表现为极显著(P<0.01)。云南松苗木各器官N、P、K化学计量比主要受N×P交互作用的影响,其次是N,影响最小的是P。除在根和叶中ω(N)∶ω(P)与ω(N)∶ω(K)之间相关性发生改变之外,其余两两间的正负...
